Spent dinner last night with my bf discussing the hierarchy of man. He then used his PE slide-making abilities and sent me this today.

ATTN FLY TYERS: Need advice for bleaching peacock herl. I use 1:1 bleach/water soaked 90 sec, agitate 90 sec, then rinse 2 min. Nice clean herl but fragile when dry. How do I make them supple again? I'd appreciate any advice. Thnx in advance! #flyfishing #flytying #tyingflies

Explain your Twitter handle: 55gal Steel drum of methanol exploded beside me. 3rd degree burns on 30% of my body. The top of the barrel was found 100 meters away embedded in a chainlink fence. They told me if I had been 12" to the right, the top would have cut me in half.

Waiting on a hook order, found a big ol hook and tied a big ol Wooly Bugger. A Bigger Bugger if you will. Just a tad over 6.5cm(2½") #TyingFliesTuesday #flyfishing #flytying #tyingflies

Gotta have some junk flies. Gluing the bead to the hook but not the material let's you swap out the worm body when it inevitably gets chewed up #flyfishing #flytying #tyingflies #TyingFliesTuesday

Opening day, sitting here quietly in the dark. Ready to spook anyone who thinks they're gunna fish this hole this morning 😂 Opening day is first come first serve when it comes to staking out a position.

What would you rather being doing right now, and why is it #fishing?

3 days after season opening, and I finally catch a fish worth a damn haha. I got shaken off while fighting another big rainbow upstream, so landing this one really made my day! #flyfishing #rainbowtrout

Another good day out on the river after work. #fishing #flyfishing #rainbowtrout #trout

Yellow Sally Stonefly • Quill Gordon Mayfly • Baetis Mayfly • Yellow Sally & Baetis. These examples will really help me with correcting, coloring, proportions, and sizing. #flytying #flyfishing #insecticid

An elder fellow, on this river this morning, gave me this fly. It would be a great pattern done in black & sized down to a #16/18 to match the constant hatches of Chimarra on the river lately. Got to get back on the vice soon. #flytying #tyingflies #flyfishing
